DENTPC 581

Fixed Prosthodontics 3

Course Overview

Students will learn the indications, materials selection, and fabrication of esthetic veneer restorations for fixed prostheses and the science of color application to esthetic restorations. The rationale is learned for resin-bonded ultraconservative fixed prostheses and resin or ceramic veneered prostheses. The student will plan and wax an anterior esthetics case.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

Define the procedures and design for a resin-bonded ultraconservative fixed prosthesis

Diagnose and plan an anterior tooth esthetics case with treatment to include both Periodontal and Restorative procedures

Define the procedures and design for a porcelain fused to metal fixed prosthesis

Properly prepare teeth for all esthetic veneer crown designs as well as prepare teeth for an anterior porcelain fused to metal fixed prosthesis then fabricate of a provisional resin fixed prosthesis, make a final impression, make a working cast, mount of casts on a Panadent semi-adjustable articulator, wax the fixed prosthesis to complete contour and cut-back for porcelain, then cast and apply porcelain to one retainer.

Properly fabricate a provisional restoration for an anterior endodontically treated tooth using a temporary post.
